This lecture introduces the concept of fluids, defining them as substances that deform continuously under any shear stress. It covers basic laws of fluid dynamics, properties of fluids such as density and specific weight, and the ideal gas law. The importance of viscosity and the no-slip condition at solid boundaries are also discussed.
